just thinking out loud

Embedded video from CNN Video

“Today, we begin again the work of remaking America.”

My, doesn’t he look so charming?

Hmm…I’m kinda riding with the wind right now. I first received this update from John Chow on twitter and I just thought it would be good to blog about it before it becomes a history.

Also today, Cadillac introduces the new presidential limo.

Wow, as much as being popular and having the world at your command, the next best thing to becoming a US president is to own one a limo. (Well, that’s just my unsolicited opinion.)

Anyway, how can one not but wonder at this beautiful creation?

My, I’m drooling with admiration. You can view the other images by clicking on the image or just go here .

This is probably one of the hardest blows our planet will get because of two very important issues at bay, environment and economic crises. European leaders are putting their heads together to try to save the world. For years, the fight against environmental degradation seem futile. The world is getting warmer and warmer and water level is continually rising causing fear that some island countries will be submerged under water. As if that is not enough to “punish” the earth’s inhabitants, many developed countries like the US and UK are facing economic recession and there are fears of impending economic depression.

However, there is a contradicting report against Global warming that I have just read recently regarding the sun getting aligned to the black hole sometime in 2012 which some believe might cause a mini ice age. I guess the movie “The Great Global Warming Swindle” is true after all.

Click on the image to watch Obama’s victory speech “Change has come to America” in full.

I knew he was gonna win and I just hope that his administration will give the Americans the transformation they much needed this time. Lots of people not only in the US but around the globe are putting their hope in Obama to straighten things up and world leaders expressed their satisfaction with the result of the US election.

When Obama didn’t pick Hilary to be his running mate, some people thought it was a big mistake and that he was eluding triumph. But as it turned out it doesn’t matter who he picks as his vice president. It’s an individual race.

And for McCain I greatly admire him for gracefully accepting his defeat.  It sure is a demonstration of an excellent attitude. His ability to accept loss with such dignity tells us that he’s such a good fighter.

The search is on for the missing or stolen rare Scottish coin collection that’s worth about £500,000.  They are offering a £50,000 reward for the person who could give an information to their whereabout.

Some of the coins were said to be as old as 900 years and they were amassed for a period of 50 years.

I’m just wondering how the thieves managed to steal them. For sure they took a great deal of a strategy on how to do their crime. Makes me think of Ocean’s 11, 12 and 13 and the Entrapment and many more that I haven’t watch or wouldn’t care to watch. Such movies give people idea how to rob.

Well, according to the news, these coins can’t be sold in the markets because they are so well-known.

Wow, this is really good news. A few months ago when fuel prices started surging up it seemed that the rays of hope are shutting off one by one. Thankfully, amid all these gloom even a single ray of hope is most welcome.

Finally, the price of fuel is starting to go down to less than a pound again just in time for winter when people have to spend more on their heating system. At least I see that there is a bit of a balance here.

A couple of weeks ago I also read in the news that some grocery stores here in the UK are starting to rollback their prices ever since the price of petrol started to decrease. Credit crunch might still be here but at least there is something good to focus on to.

Can you believe this?

A teenager was arrested cycling on the motorway and when apprehended claimed that she didn’t know it was against the law.

On another incident in the same country a mother was stopped by police because she was cycling with her naked 18-month baby in the child seat in temperatures of just 11 degrees Celcius. She was a lawyer herself and defended that she was just respecting her child’s wish who didn’t want to get dressed!

Ayayay!!! Ignorance of the law excuses no one..

Well, this is another breaking news…opps..I should say shocking news.  According to yahoo news posted on Monday, September 29, Andrew Lee, an aspiring chef died after eating a bowl of “super hot” chilli sauce. How sad! He must have had a really super bad reaction after the feat.

Accordingly Mr. Lee challenged his girlfriend’s brother who could eat the hottest dish. Then he felt itchiness all over his body and even asked his girlfriend to scratch his back so he could sleep.  Sadly though, the next morning, Ms. Bailey, found her boyfriend dead. It must have been awful for her to find a dead body next to her and it was her boyfriend.

Chillis have good and bad effect on our diet. But everything should be taken in moderation.  For a person whose diet is composed of chilli it could not be bad since his system is accustomed to it.

Well, I really feel sorry for the family and loved ones of Andrew Lee. Here’s my condolences for them.

A new sensation in the Philippines and in the US lately, Charice Pempengco has wowed the likes of Ophra, Ellen Degeneres and she was even invited by Celine Dion to have a duet with her only a week before her concert. Ellen Degeneres’ show found Charice on youtube and pulled her out from the box to give her the adulation and the exposure she most deserve.

I can’t believe what I hear from those who have heard Charice. Their admiration to this little girl seemed one of a kind. A guy in Ellen Degeneres’ show exclaimed as you can hear in this video, “I have never heard anything like that coming from a body that’s small and the way it just came out of her mouth is unbelievable.”

When Charice guested at Oprah’s show her dream to meet Celine was made possible by Oprah herself. (Charice’s dream come true. Charice meets Celine)

I can already guess how far Charice will get with her talent. Her sad beginning is worth mentioning as well, how her dad tried to kill her mom in front of her when she was only 3 years old. According to rumors I gathered, she would always come in second during amateur singing contest. Well, I guess now Charice has proven who’s the real number one.

What is exactly is going to happen tomorrow when they finally switch on the Large Hadron Collider tommorow. Scientists anxiously anticipate for a revolutionary event or findings on what the world exactly look like when it started “billions of years ago”

I can’t hide my cynical smile as I wrote the last phrase. I just thought that finally, (hopefully) they will find the truth and nothing but the simple truth about the earth’s actual age.

Well, I am not at all skeptic about the reliability of this mammoth, most complex, most impressive instrument man has ever boasted to have built. In fact, I am hoping as I said earlier that they will find the answer to one of the biggest, most debatable issue–the origin of the earth.

Let’s see what happens tomorrow.
